This document outlines principles of sustainable urban movements like New Urbanism and Green Urbanism. It discusses New Urbanism's principles of encouraging walkability, mixed-use development, and high quality design. Green Urbanism principles include promoting green streets using trees and rain gardens, depending on renewable energy sources, and increasing urban green spaces and gardens. The document provides examples to illustrate porous pavement and rain garden designs that filter rainwater and reduce runoff.

• There are many definitions of sustainable development
• The most famous one is:
"Development that meets the needs of the present
generation without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs."
• Which appeared in 1987 in the Brundtland commission

1.Encourage Walkability: New Urbanism deals with streets as main
open spaces where people can do several activities beside moving.
The walls of those streets are the buildings so new urbanism
concerns a lot with the good design of them also.
How can we encourage walkability???

Concept of Rain gardens:
• When rain falls it moves to the rain garden
• Leaves of plants and Layers of soil in rain garden
absorb
pollutants from water .
• Rain Water moves in pipes to storages under ground
• Roots of the plants Slows the speed of water flow
to reduce soil erosion
